While Yang Hui was in the imperial capital and the various participants of the FC-17 were fighting wits and courage to coordinate the entire FC-17 project, the navy of the republic was once again engaged in various frictions with the Vietnamese navy in the southernmost sea of the republic.

This kind of friction has been accumulated for a long time, since the Republic of China and the navy successfully built a new airfield on Vinh Tan Island in 87, the two sides have been even more tense, and even the Vietnamese side has urgently discussed with the big brother of the Soviet Union, crying all kinds of complaints.

On the one hand, the Soviet Union also saw that the Republic was building a large number of buildings on Vinh Tan Island, and after weighing it repeatedly, it also agreed to Vietnam's request, but also took into account the actual situation and transferred eight second-hand Kotlin-class destroyers of nearly 3,000 tons from the Soviet Navy to sell to Vietnam, which can be said to be a comfortable money.

Gorbachev was also very happy about this, praising the Soviet Navy for its life, and urging Vietnam to quickly drive these eight warships back to the Soviet military port to soak in the Soviet military port It costs money.

It must be known that this Kotling-class destroyer is the prototype of the Republic Type 051 destroyer, which is a typical old-fashioned artillery destroyer, with the same tonnage, and even the armament is not much different, but like the Soviet equipment imitated by other republics, the 051 after the Republic Magic Transformation is still blue, which makes the Republic Navy always be able to suppress the monkey in conflicts.

Especially at the beginning of March, the Vietnamese side exchanged fire with the Republic Navy on the reef, which severely damaged the arrogance of the Monkey Navy, but the situation soon changed, and the Monkey did not know whether it was the medicine or whether he felt that these eight Kotlin-class destroyers were advanced enough. It's time to fight with the South China Sea Fleet of the Republic.

After the defeat of 314, Vietnam did not die down like the previous one. Instead, it directly and secretly mobilized manpower and warships, and Kotlin was relatively easy to use as an old-fashioned artillery destroyer. After half a year of familiarization, Vietnam retired some old equipment and freed up its manpower, and quickly formed a combat effectiveness, which can be described as amazing.

After mobilizing eight warships, he took the largest landing ship of the Vietnamese Navy to look for a yard and rushed to the reef again, and at once he really caught the last 051 frigate that was still patrolling the reef.

At this time, the main force of the Republic Navy was after 314, because the entire conflict was not immediately reported to the top management, and the commander of the team directly fired back. Two landing craft were also sunk, but the Military Commission strictly ordered the Navy to transfer the entire fleet back, as for the reason

It seems that like the Republic's self-defense counterattack against India and Vietnam, it has committed some well-known reasons, so that there is only this 051 frigate in the vicinity of the entire Yugua Reef, and when it saw the arrival of Vietnam's huge four Kotlin-class forwards, it naturally looked pale and powerless, and immediately sent a message for help with the Nanhai base.

"Hainan, Hainan, this is the xxx ship. Our ship found four Vietnamese warships sailing in the waters of Yugua Reef, the model is Kotlin-class, asking for support, requesting support! ”

With the heart-wrenching call of the captain of the xxx ship, the driver's department of the Nanhai Fleet, which was far away in Hainan, acted quickly. This is no joke, Vietnam has mobilized so many capital ships to come, even if the surface ships of the entire South China Sea Fleet are pulled up now, it may not be able to have much advantage.

After the news is informed. The entire command was quiet, and only a few days ago the commander who commanded the 314 naval battle was trained on the issue of opening fire directly without consulting his superiors. For this reason, the main combat ships were deliberately withdrawn, indicating that the Republic had no intention of making the whole friction bigger. Unexpectedly, this Vietnamese became more and more courageous.

"Commander, what should we do about this situation now, we only have xxx frigates in the waters of Guajiao, and now we are at an absolute disadvantage, what if the Vietnamese side takes the initiative to fire again?"

With the problem in front of the commander of the Nanhai Fleet, this side could not sit still, and something had to be done, and when he was about to give the order, the political commissar spoke at this time.

"Let's ask our superiors first, now the situation is too complicated, we can't do the same as the last 314 naval battle, we can't eat and walk around without authorization, this must be cautious, now our two countries are brewing negotiations on land to support fire, we must consider the overall situation!"

When the political commissar said this, everyone looked at the political commissar anxiously, and now they asked their superiors, and after the superiors considered it, the daylily was cold.

The young main battle faction stood up at once: "Commissar, when is this coming?"

Now it's a tangle in my heart! His thoughts were full of naval brothers near Gua Jiao, which was quite dangerous, and if he didn't pay attention to it, something big would happen.

However, is the commissar really the kind of person who doesn't know what to do? Of course not! He knows that the current situation is urgent, and he knows that now he is weak and relies on the surface ships of the Navy to pass, I am afraid that it will be a long time ago

"I didn't say who to ask for, we don't have that qualification to ask the Military Commission directly, it's better to ask Commander-in-Chief Liu directly, he is the commander-in-chief of the Navy, of course you have to find him if you have something, and the most important thing is that he can mobilize the naval aviation stationed closest to the place of the incident."

Hearing that the commissar was planning to do this, the fleet commander remembered that there was still naval aviation to rely on. immediately picked up the phone, and was about to go to Commander Liu's office, and was about to explain the situation, but Commander Liu spoke first.

"Needless to say, I know everything, you immediately pull out all the surface and underwater naval ships that can be mobilized, and give me to go to Yugua Reef immediately, and I will immediately arrange for naval aviation to go to support."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, and then connected to the naval aviation base in Hainan, which is also in Hainan, if he wants to effectively support the melon reef far away in Nansha, even the naval and air forces stationed on Yongxin Island are still overwhelmed, after all, the difference between the two locations is nearly 900 kilometers, which just exceeds the combat radius of the Jian-74.

So it was necessary: "Lingshui Airport, I am Liu Huaqing, and I ordered to immediately take off two Bombing Six air tankers, and immediately fly to the 500-kilometer airspace between Yongxin Island and Yugua Reef, ready to provide air refueling support." ”

When Commander Liu's call arrived, Lingshui Airport finally moved, as the nest of the Republic's naval aviation, it is naturally quite a high level of combat readiness, plus the 314 naval battle has just passed, and the vigilance of the naval aviation here has not been lifted.

He immediately responded: "Lingshui received, the first sortie of combat-ready tankers will take off within five minutes, the scheduled airspace will arrive within forty minutes, and the second air tanker will arrive within one hour." ”

This is the maximum speed of Lingshui Airport, the Navy has taken over a total of eleven bombing six air tankers, and up to eight are arranged in Lingshui, in order to meet the needs of all thirty J-74s arranged on Yongxin Island to dispatch together, and now it is only showing a small part of its strength.

"Very good, your combat readiness duty is doing a very good job, and I hope the combat troops on Yongxin Island can do the same!"

Hung up the phone again, and Commander Liu crossed the line to dial the phone to Yongxin Island, after all, this Yongxin Island is too important, and Commander Liu must personally give this order.

When Yongxin Island received the order, the first to take off were two Jian-74s on regular combat readiness duty, each of which hung two Thunderbolt-8 missiles and two auxiliary fuel tanks, and it was impossible to mount such a thing as anti-ship missiles as a combat readiness alert; if it were not for the special circumstances of the navy, the fighters on combat readiness duty would not even carry auxiliary fuel tanks throughout the field.

Then, the ground crew of Yongxin Island began to get busy, showing the combat order to take out the C801 in the underground warehouse from the weapons custodian, which is the heavy firepower to be mounted on the fighter this time.

The missile storage box was opened, the missile was lifted by special attachments, and two heavy hardpoints under the upper wing were attached, and the fuel was also pumped out of the tank and injected into the fighter tank.

Ten minutes later, the fuel was filled, two anti-ship missiles and two fighting eggs for self-defense were hung under the wings, which was already a very heavy underwing load, and in order to take off safely on the island for a short distance, the auxiliary fuel tanks were naturally not necessary, and there would be air replenishment from air tankers later.

"Understand, we must ensure the safety of our islands, reefs and ships, and never let the enemy have a chance to fire a second shot!"

After receiving this combat mission, the eight pilots who had received live target targets from anti-ship missiles had long been eager for this day, lined up and walked out of the command center, walked to their respective fighters, boarded the planes, and then taxied out of the hangar to prepare for takeoff.

"Tower. XXXXX is ready to go, request to slide out! ”

"Tower. XXXXX is ready to go, request to slide out! ”

"XXXXX, XXXXX are allowed to slide out, wind direction XX, wind speed XX, two-plane formation take-off!" (To be continued.) )
